GMO dangers revealed by former U.S. government scientist

(NaturalNews) Since 1996, when genetically modified organisms (GMOs) were first introduced, we have seen a dramatic rise in the rates of food allergies, autism, reproductive disorders and digestive problems. Of course, companies like Monsanto, DuPont and Syngenta – which own approximately half of the entire proprietary seed market – would have you believe that GMO dangers don’t exist. Yet, nothing could be further from the truth.

Independent GMO research gets attacked and suppressed. But, on the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, you’ll get to hear (first hand) what a former USDA research microbiologist has to say about the dangers of GMOs. After listening to this program – you’ll think twice about our food supply and, hopefully, have the confidence to share this news with your family and friends. Join us for a great show!

One of the biggest lies connected to GMO technology exposed

Agricultural technology corporations, like Monsanto, continue to push the notion that the use of GMO seeds will reduce the need for toxic chemicals in farming. Yet, in the past 5 years, due to the development of weed-resistant crops – farmers have been required to spray more herbicides on their fields – in an effort to kill the weeds. This is having a devastating effect on our environment and human health.

In fact, the only people who stand to gain from GMO technology are the companies that own the seeds and the chemicals used on the crops generated from these genetically manipulated seeds. Think about it – if GMO seeds are supposed to reduce the need for toxic chemicals – why are we seeing such a growth in glyphosate sales?

According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research, the global glyphosate herbicide market was valued, in 2012, at $5.46 billion and they expect the market to grow to $8.79 billion by 2019. In the past 5 years, we now see this toxic substance, glyphosate, in air and water samples plus within the blood of unborn children.

Something is terribly wrong with this picture – don’t you think?

On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, you’ll hear directly from a former USDA scientist, who has dedicated his life to understanding the hazardous effects of genetically engineered crops on soil quality and plant health. If you care about your food supply – do NOT miss this program.

How government agencies and corporations deceive the public to ensure corporate profits

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the FDA ‘encourages developers of GE plants to consult with the agency before marketing their products…Although the consultation is voluntary.’

In other words, the agency in charge of ‘food safety’ does not even require a single safety study and will not require the labeling of GMOs or even a notification before a GE food is sold to the public. Clearly, the FDA has failed to uphold its responsibilities as a watchdog for the U.S. population.

In fact, secret memos – from the FDA – made public thanks to a lawsuit reveal an overwhelming agreement among the FDA’s own scientists that GMOs can create ‘unpredictable, hard-to-detect side effects.’ These scientists have asked for long-term safety studies but the White House has ordered the FDA to promote biotechnology.

To make matter worse, the FDA appointed Michael Taylor as the ‘Deputy Commissioner for Foods’. By the way, Michael Taylor was an attorney for Monsanto – but, I guess we’re supposed to still trust he keeps public safety as his top priority, right?

If you really want to hear the truth about GMOs and its effect on the environment and our food supply – be sure to join us on the next NaturalNews Talk Hour.
This week’s guest: Robert Kremer, Ph.D., retired research microbiologist with U.S.D.A. Agricultural Research Service

Robert Kremer, Ph.D. is a Professor of Soil Microbiology at the University of Missouri and recently retired after a 32-year career as a research microbiologist with U.S.D.A. Agricultural Research Service.

His original research involves soil microbe-plant-pesticide interactions; soil health assessment; and impacts of genetically-engineered crops on soil ecology and biology. Dr. Kremer is a Certified Soil Scientist, a Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy and of the Weed Science Society of America.

U.S. regulatory agencies ignore the scientific evidence of GMO dangers. On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, Jonathan Landsman and Dr. Robert Kremer, a former research microbiologist of the USDA Agricultural Research Service talk about how GMO technology – including the use of glyphosate, a toxic herbicide developed by Monsanto is destroying soil quality, plant health and the environment. This is a rare opportunity to hear the truth!
